Review

"Sharpen your pencils and open your sketchbook; your teacher is waiting."

―Boston Globe, -
 

"A must for anyone who wants to pursue art but doesn't know where to start."

―Midwest Book Review, -
 

"Kistler provides detailed instructions and tips that take the mystery out of making simple drawings that look good. He also uses a sense of humor and encouraging words to help."

―Deseret News, -
 

"Kistler's approach is light and fun, and rather than overwhelming with technical terminology and intimidating concepts, he instead starts you out putting pencil to paper. Within the first few pages of the book, you are already well on your way...The approach presented in this book works so well because you get instant results, which inspire you to continue with the process."

―Sacramento Book Review, -
